President Donald Trump denied that he fell asleep at recent White House events, instead blaming photographers for capturing him while he’s blinking.
At 79 years old, Trump is the oldest person to take office as president, and questions have emerged about his advancing age. At several events, Trump has appeared to have fallen asleep, being photographed or filmed with his eyes closed while sitting in a chair, raising questions about his health.
Trump told the Wall Street Journal in an interview that he didn’t fall asleep. He said he’ll close his eyes because it’s “very relaxing to me.”
“Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink,” Trump said.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
